Little Miss Muffet Challenge #109

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  I hope your week is going well so far!  As usual, I've been pretty busy, but the weather is nice and except for the awful yellow pine pollen, it's great to get outdoors! I am popping in this morning to share my Little Miss Muffet DT card.  We have a brand new challenge starting today.  The theme is everyone's favorite, "anything goes".  Easy peasy, so no excuses for not coming to play along!

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are digis from the Berries and Vines 6x6 set from Gina K. Designs.  The adorable image is Polka Dot Pals Danielle.  I colored her with my Copics.  I fussy-cut her out and sat her on an oval frame.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  That's it!

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Winter Wonderland

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is going well so far!  It has been a cold couple of mornings here.  It's only been in the low 20s and even the highs have only been around 40.  Crazy weather for Alabama, that's for sure.  At least we are not getting the snow that many of my family and friends are getting up North!  Anyway, I am here now because it's my turn to post some inspiration over on the Digi Bells blog. 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Snowfall 6x6 pad.  The cute image is Frosty The Snowman from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I colored it up with my Copics.  I added some snow glitter to the trim on their hats.  I also added some snowflakes punched from glitter paper with tiny gems in the centers.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A button and some Baker's Twine finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Digi Bells blog every day where you will find wonderful inspiration from the DT and GDT with the darling images from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #98

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  It's definitely starting to look like Fall here!  The trees are turning and the temperatures are getting just a little cooler.  At least we aren't having any snow like some of my friends and family are!  You can all come and visit anytime!  Anyway, I am here now with my DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a brand new challenge for you this week.  The theme is everyone's favorite, "anything goes".  That means there is no excuse for not playing along with us!

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Merry & Bright 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Allspice.  She was just released this past week!  I love her!  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I'm afraid that my failing eyesight didn't allow me to do proper justice to all those folds in her dress! Definitely needing new glasses! The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I kept it simple and didn't add any extra embellishments.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Little Misses and our wonderful Guest Designer, Paola!  We hope you will play along!  You have until Tuesday, November 18th to enter your project.

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  I simply can't believe it is already Thursday!  And what's more, tomorrow is Halloween!  It can't be the end of October, can it?  It's been a bit crazy around here with little time for crafting and blogging, plus I've been a bit under the weather this week. I hope to be back on track soon.  Anyway, I am here now with this week's Little Miss Muffet DT card.  Today is Inspiration Thursday.  Throughout the day, the Little Misses will be sharing projects with you over in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook Group.  We will be showcasing some of our favorite products and some of the items that are currently included in the BIG SALE!  Be sure to check it out!

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  We've been having such beautiful weather.  I hope it continues into the weekend.  Anyway, I am here now with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "celebrate World Postage Day".  We want to see something to do with mail.  It can be a postcard, stamps, images of a mailbox, etc.  You get the picture.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must still have a hand-colored image on your project.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Cranberry Tart and the patterned paper is from the American Crafts Merrymint 6x6 pad.  The cute image is Swings 'n Slides Happy Mail by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics and added glitter to the snow and the trim on her jacket.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A big striped bow finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  I hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  It's been quite busy around here, but I'm looking for a little down time over the weekend.  Hope that happens! Right now, I am here with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "teddy bears" in honor of Teddy Bear Day, which is Tuesday.

Here is my teddy bear card:

My card base and mats are SU Pistachio Pudding and the patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Cakewalk 8x8 pad.  The darling image is Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Jasmine from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored her up with my Copics and framed her with a Spellbinders Floral oval diecut.  A chevron-striped bow and a few pink pearls from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  I hope you had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend.  Thankfully, I am feeling better today, so I am trying to get myself back on track with my crafting and blogging.  I am here now with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme for this last week of the month is "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist is completely optional, of course.  You may use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must still have a colored image as part of your project.

Here is my card:

 

I didn't go with the Christmas twist this time.  My card base and mats are SU Night of Navy and the patterned papers are from my stash.  I have no idea which pads they came from.  The fun image is Rosie the Riveter from Bombshell Stamps.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my copics.  The sentiment is from the same digi set.  I cut out a few gears from mirror cardstock with my Cameo.  The mirror stock is very hard to photograph!  Next time, I will use foil paper instead.  A simple bow and a few silver pearls finished my card.

 

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Friday Coloring Challenge to see the fantastic projects from my teammies, Dawn, Penny and Kathi!  We hope you will play along!  This is your last chance to be in the running for the August prize.  The August challenges are sponsored by Bombshell Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a digi set of their choice.

Retail Therapy

Hi again!  I'm back with a super quick second post today to share a card I made using some of the fabulous new digis that were just released by Make it Crafty today!  The theme for the collection is Let's Go Shopping and the backgrounds and characters are awesome!  I couldn't wait to color up a scene with them! Check out all the new stuff here!

 

Here is the card I made:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Summer Bliss 6x6 pad.  I created the fun shopping scene by merging Shopping Sidewalk with Maddy Shopping and Penny Shopping.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the scene:

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi, again.  I'm back with a quick post to share my DT card for the new Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz.  Again this week, because of my schedule, I've decided to post tonight rather than tomorrow morning.  This was a really hard one, I must say.  It's our first challenge without our dear friend, Linda, and it just seems so sad and strange without her.  Anyway, it's the last challenge of the month, so as always, the theme is "anything goes" with the optional Christmas twist.   

Here is my card:

 

Look at this!  A CAS card from me!  I know it doesn't happen very often, but it's kind of fun to do once in awhile!  I used some scraps from the Carta Bella Christmas Day pad for the pennants.  The adorable image is Fairy Bauble from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the holly berries, and although you can't see it well, I added some shimmer to the fairy wings with a Gold Spica pen..  I cut out the image with my Cameo and popped it up on a scalloped circle frame.   The sentiment is from a Flourishes Christmas set, I think, and it's stamped.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: YR20, YR24, YR27, E39, E59

Red: R35, R37, R46, R59

Green: YG01, G21, G94, G99

Gold: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23
